100 for justice

The IRS is sending $300-600 to individuals around the country, encouraging us to spend this money to re-stimulate the economy. We could all go out shopping for plasma TVs and hand the money to corporations. Or, we can see this as an opportunity to give money back to our communities, support local economies, and stimulate the kind of world we really want to live in.

http://www.100forjustice.org was created to help you donate to grassroots, community-based groups working for social change. On our GIVE page, you'll find a list of incredible organizations. We've chosen to feature groups that are led by the same people they're serving; this means most are run by and for people of color and oppressed communities. These are mostly small groups, where a donation of $100 will go directly to ground-level work, not large administrative overheads. These groups use their funding to create necessary and often overdue changes.

Give to one of the groups you discover on the website, or walk down the street and hand $100 to a local copwatch organization, or a community-run daycare. Ask yourself how you wish your tax money was really used, and fund the change you want to see.

Give what you can. Let's keep the money in our communities, and spend to stimulate justice.
